BBC Radio 3 - Radio 3 Lunchtime Concert, Edinburgh in Winter (2/4)

From Edinburgh, chamber music by Mendelssohn and Schubert.

From Edinburgh, the Armida Quartet play Mendelssohn's Capriccio for string quartet, and the SCO Chamber Ensemble with Maxim Emelyanychev on piano play Schubert's 'Trout' Quintet.

The award-winning Armida Quartet begins this recital from the Queen’s Hall in Edinburgh with one of Mendelssohn’s Op 81 works for string quartet. It’s a short work, written late in his life and tinged with wistful melancholy. Schubert’s Piano Quintet D667 follows, performed by the SCO Chamber Ensemble and principal conductor Maxim Emelyanychev on piano. The quintet was commissioned by Sylvester Paumgartner and Schubert niftily included a theme and variations on one of Paumgartner’s favourite songs, which Schubert also happened to have written called ‘Die Forelle’, ‘The Trout’.  

The programme is presented by Elizabeth Alker.
